Momhsmm Af an Imaomative Flecoiistructioh 'Tfie Most Magnificent Tomb That the World Had Ey&R Seen

Wonders of the World UILT in the fourth century, B.C., by Artemisia, widow of the noble prince, Mausolus, this B magnificent- tomb was the work of the re nowned Greek architects, Satyros and Pythios, and the sculptor, Scopas. Artemisia herself died before the tomb was finished, consumed, with grief, but the structure was completed and became one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. It was a splendid marble building, 140 feet high, with a solid lower story surmounted by an Ionic colonnade bearing a pyramid topped by a majestic four-horse chariot carrying the king and queen. The long flight of steps leading to the tomb was guarded by a series of hfelike lions, all expressing power, balance, and majesty. And it is from this tomb that the word, " mausoleum," came to denote any elaborate sepulchre. In 1402 the Knights of St. John destroyed the wondrous memorial; and in 1850 the 3ultan of Turkey permitted the removal of the fragments to the British Museum, where one may yet see these MeOlTERRANEAN SEA stone relics. ^MAltfOLEUmomhsmM aF An IMAOmATIVE flECOIiSTRUCTIOH 'Tfie most magnificent Tomb that the World had ey&r seen"' iRe lion-adorned steps leading to the.

The Nature of Maussollos's Monarchy
The Nature of Maussollos’s Monarchy The Three Faces of a Dynastic Karian Satrap by Mischa Piekosz [email protected] Utrecht University RMA-THESIS Research Master Ancient Studies Supervisor: Rolf Strootman Second Reader: Saskia Stevens Student Number 3801128 Abstract This thesis analyses the nature of Maussollos’s monarchy by looking at his (self-)representation in epigraphy, architecture, coinage, and use of titulature vis-a-vis the concept of Hellenistic kingship. It shall be argued that he represented himself and was represented in three different ways – giving him three different ‘’faces’’. He represented himself as an exalted ruler concerning his private dedications and architecture, ever inching closer to deification, but not taking that final step. His deification was to be post mortem. Concerning diplomacy between him and the poleis, he adopted a realpolitik approach, allowing for much self-governance in return for accepting his authority. Maussollos strongly continued the dynastic image set up by his father Hekatomnos concerning the importance of Zeus Labraundos and his Sanctuary at Labraunda, turning the Sanctuary into the major Karian sanctuary. This dynastic parallel can also be seen concerning Hekatomnos’s and Maussollos’s burials, with both being buried as oikistes in terraced tombs, both the inner sanctums depicting Totenmahl-motifs and both being deified after death. Hekatomnos introduced coinage featuring Zeus Labraundos wielding a spear, representing spear- won land. Maussollos adopted this imagery and added Halikarnassian Apollo on the obverse depicting the locations of his two paradeisoi. As for titulature, the Hekatomnids in general eschewed using any which has led to confusion in the ancient sources, but the Hekatomnids were the satraps of Karia, ruling their native land on behalf of the Persian King.

Yüzyıl Karia İmar Programında Mimarlar ve Mimari Atölyeler Architects and Architecture Workshops in the 4th Century Building Program of Caria Ögül Emre ÖNCÜ1 Geliş Tarihi: 18.06.2018 / Düzenleme Tarihi: 17.09.2018 / Kabul Tarihi: 29.09.2018 Özet MÖ 4. yüzyılda Karia’da, Batı Anadolu’daki diğer bölgelerden farklı biçimde, ekonomik ve kültürel yükseliş yaşanmıştır. Bunun temel nedeni Hekatomnid Sülale yönetimidir. Maussollos ve kardeşi Idrieus Dönemleri’nde, sayıları azımsanmayacak kadar çok anıtsal yapılar inşa edilir. Bu yapılar arasındaki Halikarnassos Maussolleionu, Labraunda Zeus ve Priene Athena Tapınakları, Labraunda’daki Andronlar ve Kaunos kaya mezarlarından bazıları arasında mimari benzerlikler gözlemlenir. Farklı bölgelerde yaklaşık aynı tarihlerde inşa edilen bu yapılarda grid sistem, arşitrav soffiti kullanımı ve çatı mimarilerinde yakın tasarımlar uygulanmıştır. Bu detaylar mimari bakımdan yapılacak dikkatli incelemelerde açıkça görülmektedir. Bu makalede, yukarıda belirtilen yapılar bu gözle incelenerek, aralarındaki bağlantılar tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlantılar üzerinden, Karia’da yaklaşık MÖ 390-340 yılları arasındaki kısa sürede inşa edilen anıtsal binaların mimarları ve mimari atölyeleri üzerine bir tez sunulmuştur. Burada ortaya koymaya çalışacağımız önerimizin kısa bir özeti MÖ 4. yüzyılda yaşamış ünlü mimarlar Pytheos ve Satyros'un bu yapıların hepsinde çalıştığı şeklinde sunulabilir. Tarihsel kayıtlar, bu mimarların Maussolleion ve Priene Athena tapınağı ile doğrudan ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Moussolleion ve Athena tapınağı ile aynı zaman diliminde bölgede inşa edilen diğer anıtsal yapıların mimari benzerlikleri, Pytheos ve Satyros'un bölgede yürütülen tüm büyük projelerde aktif olduğunu düşünmemize neden olmaktadır.

JIIA.eu Journal of Intercultural and Interdisciplinary Archaeology The Masters of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus Antonio Corso Kanellopoulos Foundation / Messenian Society, Psaromilingou 33, GR10553, Athens, Greece, phone +306939923573,[email protected] The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus is one of the most renowned monuments of the ancient world.1 Mausolus must have decided to set up his monumental tomb in the centre of his newly built capital toward the end of his life: he died in 353 BC.2 After his death, some writers who were renowned in the oratory – Theopompus, Theodectes, Naucrates and less certainly Isocrates – went to the Hecatomnid court at Halicarnassus and took part in the competition held in the capital of Caria in order to deliver the most convincing oration on the death of Mausolus. The agon was won by Theopompus.3 Poets had also been invited on the same occasion.4 After the death of this satrap, the Mausoleum was continued by his wife and successor Artemisia (353-351 BC) and finished after her death,5 thus during the rule of Ada and Idrieus (351-344 BC). The shape of the building is known only generically thanks to the detailed description of the monument given by Pliny 36. 30-31 as well as to surviving elements of the tomb. The Mausoleum was composed of a rectangular podium containing the tomb of the satrap, above which there was a temple-like structure endowed with a peristasis, which was topped by a pyramidal roof, made of steps and supporting a marble quadriga. The architects who had been responsible of the Mausoleum were Satyrus and Pytheus, who also wrote a treatise ‘About the Mausoleum’ (Vitruvius 7, praef.

MAUSSOLLOS’S MNEMA An iconographical approach to the architecture of the Maussolleion at Halikarnassos Elizabeth McGowan Williams College [email protected] Abstract Undoubtedly the most renowned example of intramural burial in antiquity was the Maussolleion at Halicarnassus. Since its rediscovery within the writing of Vitruvius, Pliny and other ancient authors by Renaissance architects its form has been a frequent subject of speculation. The results of the archaeological campaigns of the 19th and 20th centuries have allowed the discussion to encompass an aesthetic evaluation of the temple-tomb’s actual remains. The Maussolleion’s seemingly disparate assortment of architectural forms, which samples motifs from prominent Mediterranean cultures (Lykian podium, Greek temple, and Egyptian pyramid) has been characterized as the ultimate statement in bad taste by a self-aggrandizing satrap.

Mesalina the Simbolism of Laurus Nobilis the Mausoleum Of
UNIDADE DIDÁCTICA: A TRADICIÓN CLÁSICA NAS NOSAS LINGUAS 1 Textos: Mesalina Pese a estar emparentada coa familia imperial, Mesalina non gozaba da condición económica que debía ter: o seu fogar estaba en decadencia, seu padre non era un político prominente e súa nai era unha muller pouco virtuosa que dilapidara a fortuna familiar. Ao non posuír unha dote digna de atraer a un funcionario de renome, Mesalina tivo que conformarse con aceptar o cortexo do espantallo da corte, Claudio, o tío do entón emperador Calígula, cuxa atención captara pola sú xuventude e beleza. Ela dicía querelo e isto foi suficiente para que Claudio, quen tivera dous fracasos conxugais anteriormente, reconsiderara a sús posición respecto ao matrimonio. Seguidamente se arregló el enlace que, a ojos de su madre Domicia, era ventajoso para su familia, en lo cual no se equivocó, pues después de la caída de Calígula, Claudio fue proclamado emperador, de modo que Mesalina y los suyos recobraron su posición social. El nuevo emperador estaba ciegamente enamorado de su esposa, lo que motivaba que se dejara manipular por ella. Mesalina se valió de este poder que ejercía sobre su consorte para lograr sus objetivos personales, que iban desde simples caprichos hasta ejecuciones. Tomado de: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesalina The simbolism of Laurus nobilis Bay laurel was used to fashion the laurel wreath of ancient Greece, a symbol of highest status. A wreath of bay laurels was given as the prize at the Pythian Games because the games were in honor of Apollo, and the laurel was one of his symbols.

The Halicarnassus Mausoleum, a Digital Rereading. Step 1: the Statues at the British Museum
The Halicarnassus Mausoleum, a Digital Rereading. Step 1: The Statues at the British Museum GIORGIO VERDIANI, Dipartimento di Architettura, Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy ANNA FRASCARI, Dipartimento di Architettura, Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy STÉPHANE GIRAUDEAU , Dipartimento di Architettura, Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy Well known as one of the Seven Ancient World’s Wonders, the Mausoleum built by Mausolus in Halicarnassus is one of the many lost masterpieces from the past. Its architectural and artistic high quality just left a large bounce of fragments and ruins, leaving to all the scholars a rich subject for studies and to imagine possible reconstructions. In this ongoing research, a try of collecting the single parts and make some matching with other possible references is done starting from 3D digital modeling. Photogrammetry was used on a set of statues from the British Museum, for creating accurate 3D models, with a great attention in finding correspondences with other sculptures and features (faces, dresses, details) from other artworks from the same area. The use of the SfM/IM (to give it a very specific definition) [Guidi et al. 2015], commonly indicated as SfM/IM photogrammetry (tuned out again to be a great tool for rapid and accurate digitalization, all the models were then edited, simplified and uploaded to the Sketchfab platform to be a quick reference for all the participants to the research group, but also accessible to anyone for seeing and checking these interesting pieces from the past. Such an operation, starting from the statues trays to bring on some reflections about proportions, stiles and relationship with architecture to better understand and verify possible new reconstruction choices about this long lost architectural wonder.

Περίληψη : Ada Was the Daughter of Hecatomnus and the Sister and Wife of Idrieus

Ασία URL: <http://www.ehw.gr/l.aspx?id=7064> Περίληψη : Ada was the daughter of Hecatomnus and the sister and wife of Idrieus. In 344/343 BC she succeeded her husband in the satrapy of Caria. A few years later, in 341/340 BC, she was overthrown by her brother, Pixodarus, and was exiled to Alinda. When Alexander the Great invaded Caria in 334 BC, Ada surrendered Alinda and adopted him, while Alexander restored her to the satrapy of Caria. Τόπος και Χρόνος Γέννησης 4th c. BC – Caria Τόπος και Χρόνος Θανάτου 324/323 BC – Halicarnassus Κύρια Ιδιότητα satrap and queen of Caria 1. Family Ada I was the fourth child of the satrap of Caria, Hecatomnus of Mylasa. She was the sister of Mausolus, Artemisia, Idrieus and Pixodarus. She married her brother, Idrieus, which is confirmed by ancient writers. Arrian says they were married according to the Carian custom. The phenomenon of incest in the Hecatomnids is explained by their wish to maintain control over their wealth and power.1 2. Activity When Artemisia II died in 351/350 BC, Idrieus and Ada succeeded her and ruled jointly the satrapy of Caria, as evidenced by a resolution found at the sanctuary of Sinuri.2 But when her husband died in 344/343 BC, Ada ruled Caria single-handedly until 341/340 BC. It is not known whether Ada was officially called “satrap”when she succeeded her husband in power, because it is not known whether this title was awarded to women in the Persian Empire.

PREFACE. This, the Second volume of the Catalogue of Greek Sculpture, has been prepared, as was the First, by Mr. Arthur H. Smith, Assistant in the Department of Greek and Eoman Antiquities. The sculpture and architecture with which it deals are mainly the fruit of four separate expeditions promoted by Her Majesty's Government: (1) that of Sir Charles Fellows in Lycia, 1842; (2) that of Sir Charles New- ton at Halicarnassos and Cnidos, 1856; (3) that of Sir R. Murdoch Smith and Commander Porcher to Cyrene, 1861; and (4) that of Mr. J. T. Wood at Ephesus, 1863- 1874. Among the sculptures the most important, from an artistic point of view, are those of the Nereid Monument at Xanthos, in Lycia. Yet these sculptures have not hitherto been described in a comprehensive manner except in a memoir by Professor Michaelis in the Annali and Monumenti of the German Archaeological Institute in Rome, 1874-5.
